And this would help us clearing a bit the DesignService queue at the 
same time, win-win :D

There are some users *we know* will not come back and contribute to 
Fedora...

For a large number of people in the group I don't remember seeing *a 
single* post on this list.

Considering the power allowed, it make sense to require some kind of 
introduction and maybe a *small* task (which may be formal: the person 
has contributed in the past to an external Fedora oriented site, has 
contributed to another Fedora project sounds like acceptable credentials 
to me).
